Silly me, thinking that the grammy awards were supposed to be about the MUSIC,not making a statement!

But I haven't really thought they were about music since, well, forever. Jethro tull best metal album?

The Twits won a Grammy...

...and Yazzir Arafat won a Nobel. I hope I'm never "recognized". The embarrassment might be too much.

The Chicks' slam against President Bush is old news. The fact that they slammed country artists and their fans over the past year or so is why their sympathy Grammys are so misplaced. I'm sure Nashville is seething.

In the end, unless you're Gnarls Barkley or another slighted group/artist, this is pretty much a petty matter (remember Lauryn Hill?).

I didn't think much of the song, but the video for Lauryn Hill's "That Thing" is a masterpiece. It also shows -- unintentionally -- how far the culture had slid in between 1967 and 1998.

What's a grammy, and why should anyone even care?<

No matter, because Miss Piggy drove herself and her pals over a cliff. They announced some time ago that the band would dissolve after the Grammy Awards.

I'm sure they won't be making any acceptance speeches at the People's Choice Awards any time soon.

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

Has anybody actually seen any of the death threats? Are they in Mary Mapes' handwriting?
